Spiritual practices should bring you joy. If they do not, I would re-evaluate why you are doing them in the first place. Have they become just a static routine? Are you only doing them because you think you should be? Or are they truly energizing, uplifting, and enhancing your life?
If not, change them up. Give yourself permission to do things differently. Here’s why: If God lives within us, and God wants us to thrive, why on earth would He/She/It expect us to do something “spiritual” that doesn’t bring us joy? It makes no sense.
So, give yourself permission, right now, to lighten up. 😊 Stop doing things out of habit and start re-creating a conscious practice that serves you (and your spirit) today. The moment to change things up is the moment your current routine zaps your energy and takes all your willpower to accomplish. When you feel you have to “motivate” yourself to do something – that is suppose to be self-nurturing – it’s definitely time to switch it up. Let your feelings be your guide – and lose the guilt.
